summary: Ability to run an arbitrary command before making network connection
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
fixed-in: 503d6139d5e1a7c727343e7c06c39778f18dfb25

PuTTY now has the ability to run an arbitrary command just before it makes a network connection. This can be used, for instance, to implement port knocking.

This can either be configured in saved settings ('Command to run before connection'), or specified on the command line (-preconnectcommand).
